This week: Sly Stallone’s motley brigade of Expendables return, Ice Age 4 arrives in both 2D and 3D and Keith Lemon makes his big-screen debut…

The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time – six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that’s nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way….

Scrat’s nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he’s been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences – a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Get ready for the uncut, lewderer, cruderer and ruderer comedy treat of the year – Keith Lemon The Film. Ooosh, bang tidy! The best person on telly hits the big screen in this story of rags to riches… and that fit bird, Kelly Brook. In this outrageous and hilarious adventure, Keith Lemon comes to London from Leeds and, just like his hero Richard Branson, becomes an overnight billionaire! Then an over day failure before finding the road to redemption.

With so much unseen stuff that wasn’t allowed in the cinemas, and bursting with juicy special features, this extended blu-ray disc will have you shipped off to the hospital with your sides splitting. Get ready to laugh your pants off.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Season Two travels warp speed into the next realm of adventure. Under the leadership of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), the Enterprise faces a season of new changes and big challenges. With Dr. Crusher on sabbatical, Chief Medical Officer Katherine Pulaski (Diana Muldaur) fills in. And Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) arrives as 10 Forward’s wise El-Aurian bartender. This voyage explores watershed moments, including Riker (Jonathan Frakes) experiencing the Klingon culture, Data (Brent Spiner) defending his humanity and the introduction of the Borg, a species of terrifying cybernetic conquerors threatening the fate of intelligent life. Presented for the first time on Blu-ray in 1080p high definition and digitally remastered 7.1 sound, this mission is not to be missed.

Seasons 6 through 10 of this seminal and hard-hitting cop drama are finally coming to DVD. NYPD Blue is set in the 15th Precinct of New York and created by Stephen Bochco. The series broke new ground for US television shows, was notable for showing subjects not normally covered such as vigilante violence and bribery, and has gone on to win over 20 Emmys.

This series welcomes the incomprehensible Horse Trainers, the hard-bitten American Cops, the overlooked but jolly Minor Royals (featuring Victoria Wood), the gossipy 50s Typists (featuring Kevin Eldon), the bizarrely threatening Portuguese Curse Lady and the Everything’s Better in Scotland bloke. Of course, their affectionate but wicked satire reappears in gems such as When Life Was Simpler, remembering a time before such inconveniences as holding a driving licence or having to remember the name of your wife, and in fabulous spoofs of the likes of Question Time, The King’s Speech and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. And, there’s still a place for some brilliant old faces as The Surgeons, I Saw You Coming, Is He a Quare? and the Dragons’ Den.

On the way he and his band of friends and cousins must do battle with Black Riders, a Balrog and various other animated perils.
